One rumor is to the effect that she is a sister of Eva, and that the child for whom she was engaged as "wet nurse" was really her own—a fifth baby brought forward after the failure of the four obtained in New York by Eva Mann. The wounded woman is still very vindictive against her assailant, and vows sho will see her punished.

Washington At Washington— 10900Q108-6 Mr. Joseph F. B. Firth, member of tho house of commons for Dundee, Scotland, is dead. London, Sept. 5.—The strikers' committee is still in session at this hour, 2 a. m. They have just decided to allow the men now out to resume work on any wharf where sixpence is paid for ordinar, work, eightpence for overtime, and where the "plus" on piecework is equally divided between the journeymen and the foremen. These are the terms for which the strike was inaugurated, but notwithstanding the fact that at several of the wharves the strikers might have gone to work at these terms any time during the past ten days, the committee refused to allow any man to resume work until the docks companies had been brought to terms. The consent now given is therefore accepted as a sign of weakening, and the early collapse of the strike is again confidently predicted. Cleveland .8 0040008 x—9 THE PRESIDENT WAS THESE.

Marshal Franks estifled that upon the arrival of Justice ?leld in San Francisco on June 17 last, he ippointed David Nagle and two other deputy marshals to protect Field from assault. He gave general instructions to these men to look out for Justice Field. When the latter left for Los Angeles about Aug. 7, he instructed Nagle to accompany him to watch the Terrjns and prevent them from doing Justice Field any violence. He called Nagle's attention to the fact that Torry was pot an ordinary man, and if he met Field it would probably be difficult to control him. He told Nagle that in his opinion Terry would assault Field, and if he did Nagle would have to act quickly. Witness said that although Terry might only intend to insult Field whon he saw him, he did not believe Terry could control his temper, and would probably immediately draw his knife. He warned Nagle to take no chances, but to protect Justice Field at all hazards. Joseph W. Bruce, of Madison, is likely to be nominated for state treasurer.

The news of the fight spread among the men like wildfire and created the greatest excitement. Threats of vengeance are heard on all sides, and it is doubtful if even the great influence of their leader, John Burns, will avail to prevent further bloodshed.

The men speak of the shooting as "unprovoked murder," although eye witnesses of the fight are positive in the statement that the police drew their revolvers only when the strikers, who outnumbered them ten to one, charged upon them with stones and clubs. Even after the first fire the men stood their ground, apparently uncertain whether to continue their attack or to turn and flee. It was fortunate for the police that at this critical moment the men lacked a leader, for they certainly were not wanting in courage to face the deadly revolvers pointed toward them. With a leader to give the word, they would undoubtedly have made short work of the handful of policemen who opposed them The Shooting Denounced After the adoption of the platform, a resolution commending the course of Mr. Gladstone in his attitude toward the Irish people was adopted.

Atlanta, Go., Sept. 5.—In his address to the United Veterans' Confederate association, on the occasion of his accepting the command, Gen. John B.

The Maritime Exhibition. Boston, Sept. 5.—The managers of the International Maritime exhibition, to be held in this city in November next, have issued a circular in which they call attention to the fact that it will be made a demonstration of American capability in the entire range of industries associated in our export commerce and carrying trades. Examples of every process of manufacture are solicited, together with machinery and equipments of all descriptions of vessels. A valuable government exhibit is expected. Among the members of the Boston citizens' committee of the exhibition are: Hon. J. Q. A. Brackett, for the state of Massachusetts; Hon. L. Saltonstall, for the port of Boston; James T. Bliss, for the mercantile interests; Alexander Henderson, chief engineer United States navy, for the national government; Edward Burgess, for the naval architects and constructors, and James T.

At the Chester county (Pa.) Republican convention Judge Thomas S. Butler was nominated for tho additional law judgeship, which position be now holds by virtue of the governor's appointment. An Attempt to Arm the Men. At a meeting a manifesto was prepared denouncing the action of the police in firing upon the strikers. The committee had considerable difficulty In agreeing upon the wording of this manifesto, some of the mora violent of the members urging that it should call upon the strikers to arm themselves in defense of their lives. It is reported that Burns, the conservative leader of the strikers, is having great trouble to keep his committee within bounds, and that a proposition to arm the strikers out of the funds contributed by charitable citizens for food was defeated by only two votes. But violent as is the temper of the committee it is a marvel of moderation when compared with that of the men. At the Berks county (Pa.) Democratic convention Gustav A Endlich received the nomination for the judgeship on the seventh ballot, defeating Judge Hageimian. It is ennobling for a people, «ontinued the general, to cherish the memory of its heroic past, whether crowned with success or consecrated witii defeat. The republic has no class of defenders more true and devetpd than the ex-soldiers of the south and their worthy descendants. Whether or not the southern peaple may ever hope to witness another civilization which shall equal that which began with their Washington and ended with their Leo, it is certain that devotion to their glorious past is the surest guarantee of future unity and the strongest claim that they can present to the confidence and respect of other sections. The organization will past glories of the dead Confederacy into inspirations for future service to the living republic. It will gather as witnesses for history the facts which shall doom falsehood to die that truth may live. It will cultivate national as well as southern fraternity. It will spread the sentiment which write on the grave of every soldier on either side: "Here lies a hero, a martyr to the right as his conscience conceived it." The convention then adjourned. Deputy Sheriff Jacobs, a Republican, was shot at the polls in Franklin in tho Third congressional district of Louisiana. It is said he made threats and drew a pistil. The Iowa Labor Party.

The shippers are determined that after the present troubles have been settled they will no longer permit the dock companies to carry on the sweating systems under which both they and the laborers suffer.

Chicago, Sept. 5.—Neither Mr. Armour nor any member of the alleged dressed beef "combine" appeared before the senatorial committee investigating the dressed beef and transportation industries.

West Virginia's Contested Counties. 6ti«nge and weird incidents led up to and surrounded the death of Julius Englehardt, an old man who was drowned in the river above the dam at Milwaukee one day recently. Englehardt was • German pioneer of Milwaukee, u man of means and well known several years ago. Away back in J 880 Englehardt'k wife was stricken with rheumatism and doctors were consulted in vain. In 1884, after many patient trials of all tho regular schools of medicine, Englehardt sold a large block of property to tho Best Brewing company and staited in to investigate Christian science, faith cures and all manner of latter-day Dealing witchcraft He spent many months and many dollars journeying over the country trying to find something that would euro his wife. After a vain search he returned to Milwaukee, where he has been for the last year. Last November Englehardt himself was taken down with lung trouble, and after doctoring all winter ho was given up as a hopeless case doomed to an early death from consumption. In this emergency a regular convention of believers in witchcraft and charms was held. It was there decided that nothing would save tho old man but a charm. The charm was to go to tho banks of a running stream, there to cast pebbles in the water and recite an incantation. The old man was vory weak, but Saturday afternoon he was carried out to a carriage by his son Gustav and a friend of the family. The trio were then driven out to tho river, which above the dam is a clear and running stream. Once out there tho weak old man was carried down the embankment and propped up near tho shallow water. It was specified that the charm would bo useless if any one were present while he worked it, so tho son and the friend left him. After a wait of fifteen minutes they returned. The old man was nowhere in sight. While looking up and down tho shore one of them discovered something in the wator. They looked closer and saw it was the tick old man. Thoy hastily jumped in, for the water was hardly throe feet deep, and dragged him out. It was too late ; the charm had worked and Englehardt was cured. He was stone dead. The son and the friend carried their dripping burden back and put It In the carriage. Then they drove back home through the city, the dead man sitting between the two Uve ones.—Chicago News.

G. Bauer, doted Cincinnati, Sept. 8, saying that he had arrested George W. Williams and James H. Clark, at Alexander station, Ky., for dealing in and manufacturing counterfeit silver dollars. A large quantity of counterfeit money and material was found. Clark is a trackman on the Kentucky Central railroad, and Williams and Clark made the counterfeits at the latter's house. Williams is an old timer. He procured a flat boat on the Ohio river last fall, and with several hundred dollars of counterfeit money he started down the river.
